PSALMS, Part 2, and LAMENTATIONS is Volume XV of The Forms of the
Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a
form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Hebrew
Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the
structure, genre, setting, and intention of the biblical literature
in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical
discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the
terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature,
and expose the exegetical procedures so as to enable students and
pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the
Old Testament texts. This volume completes Erhard Gerstenberger's
widely praised discussion of the psalms literature begun in Volume
XIV, and includes as well an admirable study of the book of
Lamentations. Gerstenberger interprets the different kinds of songs
and prayers that comprise the book of Psalms in light of their
sociohistorical settings and provides a concise formal and
structural analysis of each biblical text based on an illuminating
comparison with other ancient Near Eastern prayers and hymns.
Seeing the biblical writings in relation to the social, cultic,
religious, and theological conceptions of Israel's neighboring
peoples allows contemporary readers to better grasp the purpose and
spiritual meaning of the psalms and Lamentations to the Jewish
community that composed them.
